Drinks & Nightlife
Grab a bite to eat, listen to music, grab a drink and have some good conversation. Everyone is friendly and this is a local spot, so you can get some great "character" eye candy. And the beers won't be overpriced. You can also walk here from our place.

If you are looking for more gourmet selections, this is the grocery store you want to hit. A little further than the WD, but it's not a bad trek. It's either that or the Walmart, which is in walking distance, but I prefer Rouses.
